I have an '89 with an automatic and I think that year may have had a problem with tail shaft seals. I have seen quite a few posts about having to do the job for this year. But now that yours is done, you should be fine with that.

Like you, I tried the "keep up the fluid and ignore the mess" method for quite a while. In the meantime, my Oxygen sensor went out so I replaced it with a new generic. That sensor only lasted a couple of months. It was then that I researched and found out that the zirconia sensors the LH injected Volvos use (and almost every other car except Regina Volvos use) is an air breather and doesn't like breathing ATF. So I had a friend replace my tailshaft bushing and seal before I changed O2 sensor again.

I hope you dodged this problem, but if your check engine light comes on, look there first.
